Depending on where you draw the line, fake news is shit like 'Obama appoints sharia council' - online equivalents to the National Enquirer, where they literally just make things up to create juicy clickbait headlines that then spread like wildfire through all the idiots on FB. Or, it is stuff like Breitbart that may start with something kinda factual but present it in unbelievably biased or dishonest ways.

that's the hiring equivalent of cutting through a gas station to avoid traffic and turn right at a red light, then telling the officer 'oh, no, officer, i wasn't illegally bypassing traffic, i was going to the gas station and then changed my mind in the parking lot'

you think you're clever, but a judge will just laugh at you and bust your ass.

so what you really mean is 'someone else already wrote a program to identify any car that drives by with good accuracy just by matching it against known engine sounds, and i can write a several-line script to call that program'

if the most modern nuclear reactor under construction is still using decades-old designs and still produces substantial nuclear waste, and there are much newer, cheaper, cleaner, safer designs that EXIST NOW that could be used...

then yeah. that seems like a pretty reasonable request to me! why are we not building them again?
